Is there any way to eliminate the sky banding in Q3A on a Voodoo3 card?
Yes! You can dramatically improve the image quality in Q3A on a V3 card. This will also help on a V2 card, but on a V3 you can get nearly the same image quality your friends with NVidia cards are bragging about 🙂 First off, install the WickedGL miniport (NOT the Wicked3D driver, the WickedGL miniport!). You need to sign up for a registration number, but it’s free. Keep the number in a safe place – you need it to register the miniport and any future updates. When you run the installer, select ONLY Q3A and don’t install it for other Quake games (the 3Dfx miniport works better in other games). When it asks you if you want the standard or high resolution miniport installed, select standard. The high resolution miniport is buggy and is only intended for high-end systems running Q3A at over 1024×768. The WickedGL miniport alone will dramatically improve both visual quality and performance, but there’s one more thing to do. Add these two lines to your Q3A AUTOEXEC.CFG file: set r_intensity “
